Cavaliers Bound for NCAA East Regional Golf Tournament

Two State Schools Join Virginia in Hot Springs

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- The University of Virginia golf team has been selected to play in the NCAA East Regional golf tournament at the Cascades Golf Course at The Homestead in Hot Springs, Va., on May 15-17. Virginia Tech is the host school.

Twenty-three teams and five individuals will play in the East Regional tournament with 11 teams and two individuals advancing to the NCAA Championships. The NCAA Championship will be conducted May 28-31 at the Conway Farms Golf Club in Lake Forest, Ill.

Virginia finished 12th in last season's NCAA East Regional, missing the cut to advance to the NCAA Championships by one stroke.

Eight schools from both the Southeastern Conference and five from the Atlantic Coast Conference received bids.
